Page 1 of 5 NEW BUSINESS – 11B MEMORANDUM DATE: May 27, 2025 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers Jessica Jagoe, Interim City Administrator FROM: Elena Fransen, Senior Planner SUBJECT: Planning Case #25-003 – Public Hearing Required Applicant: City of Arden Hills Request: Zoning Code Amendments – Chapter 13, Thrift Store Use Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source: N/A N/A N/A Council Should Consider Motions to approve, table or deny the following: • Adoption of Ordinance 2025-001 for Planning Clase 25-003 regarding a Zoning Code amendment to Chapter 13, Section 1305 to modify definitions for thrift store use, 1320 to determine zoning districts for thrift store use, and 1325 to establish performance standards for thrift store use and authorization to publish a Summary Ordinance of 2025-001. Approval for authorization to publish summary ordinance requires an affirmative vote of four councilmembers. Overview of Ordinance Amendments Staff has prepared a draft ordinance identifying language to be added for the City Council’s review (Attachment A). The proposed ordinance would expand the definition for a thrift store use to include a Class I and Class II use as well as add a new land use type for a Class I thrift store use and rename the existing thrift store use to Class II thrift store. As drafted, the City would allow a Class I thrift store use as a permitted use in the B-2, B-3, B-4, and I-FLEX Zoning Districts and add a Class II thrift store use as a use allowed by a conditional use permit in the B-2 and B-3 Zoning Districts. The language also modifies existing criteria for all thrift store uses with several additional conditions to further differentiate the Class I and Class II thrift store uses. Proposed Language: Section 1305, Rules, Scope, Interpretation, & Definitions
